[ChromeOS] Don't initialize VGA Option ROM in normal mode
ChromeOS features two different modes: normal mode and developer mode (aka jailbreak mode). In developer mode, we need to display a warning screen for security reasons.
However, in normal mode we want to boot blazingly fast. Therefore we don't run (VGA) option ROMs, unless we have to print something on the screen before the kernel is loaded.
